Wisconsin FFA shines at 86th National FFA Convention

Winners recognized in Louisville

Wisconsin FFA was well represented and recognized at the 86th National FFA Convention held Oct. 30-Nov. 2 in Louisville, Ky. The convention returned to Louisville this year, after a seven-year stretch in Indianapolis, Ind. It will be held in Louisville again in 2014 and 2015 and then will return to Indianapolis in 2016 and continue a three-year rotation.

The theme, “Ignite,” was a call to action for the 56,000 on-site participants and thousands more who view the convention virtually. The eight general sessions featured messages about what FFA members should “ignite:” leadership, agriculture, potential, dedication, success, commitment, our message and FFA.

Many Wisconsin FFA members showed that determination and a lot of hard work is what it takes to make it to be recognized at the National FFA Convention, an event anticipated all year long.
